On 24 August 2021, the Chairperson of the MBA, Ms. Bonnie Qiu, and the CEO of MBA, hosted a meeting with Mr Arif Currimjee, Chairman, Mr. Dominique de Froberville, Vice Chairman, and Ms Lilowtee Rajmun-Joosery CSK, CEO, of the Mauritius Export Association (MEXA). The purpose of the meeting was to explore ways in which the banking sector can further support local manufacturers and exporters. In spite of the strong resilience demonstrated by the manufacturing sector during the Covid-19 period, exporters experience difficulties in accessing financing for Working Capital and Export Credit. Innovative financing instruments, including receivables discounting, were discussed, and further working sessions will be held.
